I want to thank Coursera, Yale University as well as Robert Shiller for creating this course and making it free for all during these unprecedented times. I believe that keeping the mind sharp is more important now than it has ever been and you have offered a chance for individuals like myself to do something positive with their time spent in isolation. If I'm ever passing New Haven, Connecticut I'll be sure to drop by and thank you in person!

This course is everything but traditional and boring. Talking about AI, pandemics... all in 2016 by proffesor who kind of predicted a 2008 crysis in 2006... I think there is not a better or more fun way to learn about Financial Markets than this course. It is not simply talking about Economics and Finance, it is also heavily focused on Psychology, Bihevioral Finance and Phylantrophics alongside Social Issues and Innovation. I give it a 11/10

This course woke me up in the best way possible! I learned so many things and I can't wait to use all of it to my day-to-day life even though I'm not a business major! Professor Shiller is A GEM! He's one of those Professors that will actually make you think more and think deeper than usual. He's also very straight to the point which I love because I still have real life real time school if you get what I'm saying! This course is AMAZING.

The best course in my opinion for people has desire begin in financial markets. The Professor Mr. Robert don't talk like normal life (I guess that he do this way cause he knows that have many students from countries that has no structure to english for all people - This turn Professor like a magician). You learn a lot and lot about everything financial markets and then you could choose the area that you needs to involve yourself. #Ethics

Curso muito explicativo e genérico, fornecendo uma ampla visão do mercado financeiro mundial, suas caracterÃsticas e nuances. O professor laureado com o prêmio Nobel, Robert Shiller, soube apresentar com clareza e empenho os temas propostos. Trata-se de um ótimo curso para aqueles que desejam conhecer mais sobre como é o funcionamento do mercado financeiro mundial, com maior ênfase nos Estados Unidos, o maior mercado de ações do mundo.

I would like to thanks Yale University and Coursera for this opportunity, this course contains information on Financial Markets that depending on how eager students are, one can go deeper and increase his/her knowledge. I Personally enjoyed the Options, Bonds and Financialization of real estate as topics. I would like to see more engagement; for instant if we can add a section to have more up to date topics about financial industry.

I am a chemist with no finance background. About 6 months ago, I decided to start investing in the stock market and thought I would try this course to learn more about finance and I cannot praise this course enough. I did really well and have learned a lot about investment strategies well beyond the stock market. I have recommended this course on my facebook to all of my friends and family and I will say, it is 100% worth your time.

This is an excellent course. It opened my eyes to how finance, through innovation in financial products, and ultimately public policy, has the potential to have great positive social impact. Additionally, a wealth of overall knowledge of financial markets, financial instruments, and some of the history behind various innovations. Bonus interviews and guest lecturer segments emphasized and supported the values of the course as well.

One of the best courses I've taken so far in Coursera. "Financial Market" was a great course that covered topics ranging from financial history to ethical and moral connotations of finance. Moreover, finance and technology are in many ways connected.
Also, I would love to thank Professor Shiller for his excellent lecture that fascinated my understanding of finance. I look forward to taking more of his course lectures in the future.

THE COURSE WAS GREAT, THE PROFESSOR WAS AMAZING AND VERY THOUGHTFUL ON HOW TO PRESENT THE INFORMATION. IT'S EVERYTHING I THOUGHT THE CLASS WOULD BE AND IT WAS FAIR TO ITS EXPLANATION ON WHAT WAS TO BE COVERED. ALONG WITH THE BOOKS, IT COVERED EVERYTHING I NEEDED AND A LOT MORE; IN A VERY PRACTICAL USEFUL WAY RATHER THAN THEORY. THANK YOU PROFESSOR FOR SHARING. I WILL CHECK BACK IN WHEN I START RUNNING MY FIRST HEDGE FUND. CHEERS.

As a 12th grader, I'm amazed by the new perspectives I've gained - it's really enlightening. This class, which I think has been incredibly useful, shines because of Dr. Robert J. Shiller's enthusiasm and dedication to teaching. I've learned important ideas about financial markets, but also benefited from the teacher's use of real-world examples to explain things. His method has greatly improved my grasp and interest in the topic.

The course, held by Professor R. J. Shiller, provides a general outstanding on financial markets, focusing on financial mechanisms whose functioning must be clear to anybody in our days. Therefore, it emphasizes the importance of finance as a means to improve society, and especially low-income classes. All things considered, I am fully satisfiied with my choice to undertake such course. Don't hesitate, just join the community!

This course equips the learner with a solid foundational knowledge of finance in an accessible and time-efficient manner. I personally enjoyed every single week of the course and particularly enjoyed listening to Robert Shiller's lectures during my commute, evening walk, or Saturday mornings. The added requirement for an essay allows for exercising critical thinking on top of learning various concepts throughout the course.

The course content was excellent, as one might expect from professor Shiller. However, sometimes the questions in the quizzes could be improved to fit a more general class of people. For example, asking where the first benefit corporation was first established is not relevant to me because I do not reside and do not plan any time in the future, to reside in the US, although hearing about it in the lecture was interesting.

In this course, I really liked the way it was structured and delivered - in a clear and understandable way. Also, it was very nice to listen to the Professor. The assignments were very well structured and very simple to understand. Every topic which was incorporated in this course was thoroughly discussed. I am pretty sure that I can recommend this course to all my friends who are interested in the financial industry.

It was an exceptional course. It was amazing privilege to be in Robert J Shiller course, whom won Noble Prize in Economic Science. I learnt a lot about financial market history, concept behind financial tools, derivatives and inflation and so many informative topics which gave me good sight about Financial Market.
Special Thanks to Yale University for providing this course for free for all students around the world.

A very good course for people who are new to financial markets and like to know more about it. A great course which shows you the landscape of the modern markets and how they came to the point we are now. At the end I had a good general overview of the working of different markets and what the general principals are. Robert Shiller is a very good teacher and really makes you enthusiastic about the financial world.

Very good introductory course to financial markets. Provides a great understanding of the financial framework that is central in a capitalist society. I appreciated the clear explanations of professor Schiller, as well as the historical context regarding the various financial tools that are available nowadays (insurance, stocks, options ,etc.). This is a great course to get a good understanding of modern finance.

Outstanding material - it has improved my understanding of financial market movements as I work in a credit-rating agency I better understand the industry. Also allowed me to see I am interested in staying in finance for the next few years professionally and continue learning more about it and bridge the business and cybersecurity gap and couple it with risk-management experience. Thank you for a great course!
